Chapter 35: How He Keeps Wandering
Zi Xi hesitated, "That...... I'm going to be late for work. What do you want to eat, I'll order you takeout, right?"
Zhan Tingyu was finally reluctant to turn his head to look at her, but his eyes were extremely indifferent, and his face was also extremely disdainful, "Do you think I look like a person who will eat that kind of unclean food?"
"But I ...... at work"
"I'm your boss, you take my salary, and serving me well is the main thing. Zhan Tingyu said, stretched out his hand to tear open today's morning newspaper, leaned back on the sofa and read it.
That posture is clearly not negotiable.
The truth of eggs touching stones, Zixi understands it very well.
She didn't talk nonsense, put her bag on the couch, turned around and went into the kitchen.
Twenty minutes later, Zi Xi came out of the kitchen with a fresh breakfast, but there was no shadow of Zhan Tingyu in the living room.
Zixi was stunned, put breakfast and went upstairs to call, but there was no one in the study, and no one answered in his bedroom for a long time.
A bad premonition flashed in Zixi's heart.
Sure enough, when she hurried downstairs and opened the door to find the car in the yard, the parking apron was empty.
He's gone?
He's gone!
Deliberately tricked her into the kitchen, scrambled to make breakfast, and then he quietly left.
Just to fix her, just to make her late!
Zi Xi clenched the doorknob, and her angry eyes were red, "Childish!"
Zixi ran all the way out of the villa area, considering that there was not enough time, and did not go to the bus stop again, just stood at the door of the villa area and waited for a taxi.
Blue Bay is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are very few taxis passing by here.
Zixi waited for five minutes, but he didn't wait for a car, and he was anxious.
Eight o'clock had arrived, and she stood on the side of the road to call Chen Lu.
"Hey, Zixi?"
"Chen Lu, please help me take a leave of absence. Zi Xi was in a hurry, and her breath was a little panting.
"Oh, good. Zixi, are you okay?" Chen Lu asked with concern.
"I'm fine, it's just a little stuck in traffic. ”
"Uh-huh, okay. You stay safe, I'll help you talk to the manager. ”
"Thank you. ”
After hanging up the phone, Zixi continued to stand at the door and wait.
Finally, God treated her well, and a few minutes later, a taxi slowly drove by.
Although there was no sign of "empty car", Ke Zixi still held the idea of carpooling and reached out to stop the car.
The window was lowered, and before she could speak, the person sitting in the back seat had already opened her mouth first, "Zi Xi?"
The familiar voice made her stiffen, and her eyes turned to the back seat of the car, and she saw clearly that the person sitting inside was indeed Shen Xiao.
"Is it really you?" Shen Xiao was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I ...... Something. Zixi vaguely said, "I'm going to be late for work, can I carpool?"
Shen Xiao had already taken the initiative to open the backseat door, "Come on." ”
Then he said to the driver: "Master, go to Linjiang Building." ”
Just on the twenty-third floor of Linjiang Building, how could Shen Xiao know?
Before Zi Xi's thought in his heart was finished, Shen Xiao had already spoken, "I heard Yaoyao say that you have found a job there." ”
It turned out that Shen Yao told him.
Zixi nodded, "Hmm." ”
"Are you still used to it?" Shen Xiao asked again.
"It's good. Zi Xi smiled lightly.
After that, neither of them spoke again, and Zixi turned her head to look out the window in order to avoid embarrassment.
Shen Xiao is her first love, and it is also her regret. But the matter has come to this, since it is no longer possible, she will no longer be involved. It's wise to keep your distance.
The taxi drove all the way to Linjiang Building, and Zi Xi inadvertently rolled his eyes and bumped into Shen Xiao's eyes.
He sat beside her, his dark eyes watching her quietly.
Zixi's heart jumped, and the roots of her ears couldn't suppress the slight heat, she lowered her eyes, "Trouble put me down in front." ”
With that, she reached out and took out the coin bag again.
Before the money could be taken out, Shen Xiao reached out and held it.
The wallet and her hand were held in the palm of his hand, "Zi Xi, I have already given the money." ”
His palms were warm, but unfortunately there was a cold sweat in his palms.
She withdrew her hand almost reflexively, said "thank you" in a panic, and then pulled the car door and got out of the car.
"It's a pity. ”
Shen Xiao shouted to her behind her, but Zixi didn't dare to stop, and entered the building without looking back, and his steps were even a little flustered.
At the elevator entrance, she almost collided head-on with someone.
"Excuse me......" Zi Xi's eyes widened, and horror flashed on his face, "Mr. Zhan?"
Is he a ghost?
Zhan Tingyu couldn't hear the slander in her heart, but he could understand the panic in her eyes, squinting, "What are you panicking about?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Zi Xi stepped aside, "I'll go up." ”
It wasn't until the elevator door slowly closed that Zixi let out a big sigh, but her mood was very lost.
Zhu Hong was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Zhan Tingyu coming out, he hurriedly bowed down and opened the car door.
But Zhan Tingyu's footsteps paused, and his eyes narrowed to look at a person not far away.
Zhu Hong also followed his gaze, and saw a young man standing there, with his hands in his pockets, his gaze facing Zhan Tingyu from afar.
"Sir, do you know each other?" asked Zhu Hong.
"I don't know. Zhan Tingyu retracted his gaze and bent down to get into the car, but in an instant, Zixi's flustered face flashed in his mind. His brows furrowed, as if he understood something.
It was an accident that he met Shen Xiao, but he messed up Zixi's mind.
She spread out her palms, and there seemed to be the warmth coming from his hands.
How many times, Shen Xiao walked in front of her, she secretly looked at the young man's back, her eyes full of joy.
How many times has she imagined that one day, she will be able to stand calmly in front of him and say to him, I have liked you for a long time.
How many times, I hope to touch his hand, interlock with his fingers, and walk hand in hand to the end of life.
Today, Shen Xiao took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand, but her heart was full of panic, and at that moment, she felt that she was humbled to the dust. She's unclean, so all she thinks about is running away!
"Gu Zixi, Gu Zixi?" someone called her name, Zixi came back to her senses and saw Meng Jiaojiao standing in front of her.
She retracted her mind slightly, "What's the matter?"
"I called you for a long time, can't you hear me?" Meng Jiaojiao wrinkled her eyebrows.
Zi Xi's face was expressionless, "May I ask what is the matter with you?"
Syllable!
A stack of papers was thrown in front of her, "Send this to the office." ”
After speaking, he twisted his waist and was about to leave, but at this time, the elevator door opened with a clang.
Zhan Tingyu went and returned, followed by Zhu Hong.
"Big boss?" Meng Jiaojiao's heart was fluttering, and her expression was almost stupid.
Seeing Zhan Tingyu enter the office, Zi Xi frowned, didn't he leave? Why did he turn back again?
With her hands empty, Meng Jiaojiao snatched back the stack of documents, brushed her hair, glanced at Zixi with disdain, twisted her waist and sent it to the office.
Zixi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't let her send it, she still wished for it!
The provincial face of the cold-faced god was panicked!
Not long after she sat down, she saw Manager Meng coming over, her fingers curled and gently knocked on her desktop, "Send a cup of tea in." ”
Without waiting for Zixi to speak, Manager Meng had already turned around and re-entered the office.
Zixi frowned.
In the office, the manager sat on the sofa with Zhan Tingyu. Meng Jiaojiao stood on the side, a pair of charming eyes glued to Zhan Tingyu's body, and she couldn't pick them off.
Seeing Zixi coming in, Meng Jiaojiao immediately frowned again, hurriedly greeted her, and reached out to pick up the cup in Zixi's hand, "I'll come." ”
Zi Xi couldn't wait for it, so he quickly let go.
But I didn't want Meng Jiaojiao to shake her hand deliberately, the water in the teapot spilled out, and the hot tea was all splashed on Zixi's clothes.
In summer, the clothes were already thin, and the hot water soaked the clothes and burned the skin inside.
"Hiss-" Zi gasped in pain, brushing the water droplets from his clothes with his hands.
Meng Jiaojiao curled the corners of her mouth proudly, but said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Zixi, I didn't mean to." ”
Zi Xi avoided her hand, lowered her eyes and said in a cold tone, "This is the tea made for the big boss, and it was all overturned." ”
Meng Jiaojiao was taken aback, she didn't expect Zixi to rebel against the army.
grinded his teeth, quickly turned around, and looked at Zhan Tingyu on the sofa with an innocent face, "Big boss, I'm ...... I really didn't mean to...... It's her, it's because she didn't hold it steady, and she missed it for a while, so she ......"
"It doesn't matter. Zhan Tingyu opened his mouth without being salty, and his eyes swept over Zixi, "It's just a cup of tea, it's good if it's not hot." ”
Meng Jiaojiao's heart was overjoyed, is the big boss concerned about her?
Zi Xi rolled her eyes in her heart, didn't she burn it? Is he blind? I didn't see that her clothes were wet for a long time!
But if you think about it, it's normal. Zhan Tingyu has always bullied her, humiliated her, and trampled on her for fun.
She didn't believe it, he couldn't see that Meng Jiaojiao was doing it on purpose!
But even if she saw it, so what? did she still expect Zhan Tingyu to find out with her conscience?
With Zhan Tingyu's support, Meng Jiaojiao became even more proud, she turned around and stuffed all the teapots to Zixi, "Zixi, please go and make a pot for the big boss again." ”
Zi Xi Liang hooked the corners of his lips, but he didn't say anything, and went out with the teapot.
Pantry.
Zi Xi put the teapot on the tea making vessel, turned the heat to the minimum, and stood there in a daze.
Before, she was distracted because of Shen Xiao, but now she is thinking about whether she should continue to stay......
was slapped heavily on the shoulder, Zixi turned around and saw Zhou Ming's face.
"Why are you stunned? The tea is boiling. Zhou Ming said with a smile.
Zixi turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that the tea was already tumbling, and it was bubbling with white mist.
She reached out to take it, but Zhou Ming took the lead, "I'll come." ”
"Thank you. Zixi picked up the tray, thanked him, and turned around and walked out of the pantry.
Zhou Ming looked at her back, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.
Meng Jiaojiao didn't come to serve tea again this time, Zhan Tingyu was sitting and flipping through the information, Zixi squatted down, turned over the two cups, carried the teapot handle, and poured two cups of water.
After doing this, she got up and was about to go out, but when she heard the god, she opened the golden mouth faintly.
"Who allowed you to go out?"
